We've all seen electroluminescent (EL) wire—its 360-degree glow is amazing, but its power requirements and flexibility aren't. To solve this problem and give you unlimited opportunities to realize all of your TRON-like fantasies for model-building, we present our 300mm flexible LED filament.
Looking for Flexible LED Filament in Multiple Colors? You've Found It!
These filaments are truly amazing. Operating on 3V DC, there are hundreds of microscopic LED lights inside the rubberized, flexible outer shell. Power connections are on both ends (one end is positive and the other is negative).
Each pack has five filaments of the selected color. As sold here, these are a DIY product, which means you need to solder them yourself and add the appropriate resistors for the voltage you're using. If you're looking for a pre-soldered version with driver boards, we sell these in individual packs in blue, green, red, and warm white. Looking for filament longer than 300mm? You can solder them end-to-end (though you'll need to use a higher voltage: 3v for each segment of filament).
How flexible are these filaments? See for yourself:

They really are like little laser bullwhips!
These operate on just 3V DC, with a forward voltage drop for all colors of approximately 2.56v, but because of all the LEDs inside, each filament consumes approximately 120mA of power, so we don't recommend coin cell batteries for power (you *can* run them with coin cells, of course, but your batteries will run out very quickly). Nor do we recommend driving them directly from a microcontroller without the use of a high-current driver like a MOSFET.
We're excited to see what you create with these awesome little flex filaments!
